Making avocado

I want to make avocado for Aria, but I don't know how. I usually give her Beechnut or Gerber food, but I've heard good things about avocado so I want to try it. But I don't have a blender, baby bullet, food processor, etc. So how do I do it? Do I steam it, or is it soft enough to mash fresh? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I've never made food, and I also myself have never eaten an avocado so I know nothing about them.

TIA

Just mash it with a fork. Do not cook it..lol

Lol thank you. I felt so dumb asking but I have no clue what I'm doing lol

Avocados are soft, just mash it or give it in slices for her to gnaw chunks of, if she's old enough to do that.

Just cut into small pieces and give it to her. No need to mash or puree.

No problem  
Also its somewhat hard to find one that is soft make sure that it isn't too soft that could mean its too ripe or bruised up.

Okay   she'll probably like chewing on it, I'll see. Haha she's teething so she chomps on everything.

Alright I'll try it, thank you  

If you have never bought one you are safer buying a green one and waiti g for it to ripen as opposed to risk getting that is beat up

Okay, I'll check I have one my mom gave me and she said it wasn't all the way ripe yet, but she bought it two days ago. So maybe it's ripe now?

My mom bought it a couple days ago and gave it to me. She said it wasn't ripe at the time, how will I know if it is? I planned on mashing it tomorrow morning

My LO loved avocado as an infant and is still crazy about it.
You will know it's ripe by the skin color as the color will turn from medim green to brownish-blackish-green. When you press the skin, it will give a little.
